Another 4 years of APC means every Nigerian would have no other choice than to JAPA because the primary plan of the APC is to make sure majority of Nigerians becomes poor

At the return of democracy in the second republic, the National Party of Nigeria (NPN), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) and the Nigerian Peoples Party (NPP) were the dominant parties in the country. Of these three parties, the NPN was the first (and only) to adopt zoning of offices; the party chairmanship was ceded to the South while the presidential ticket to the north. The party equally made the green revolution (agriculture) a primary focus in their campaign.The other parties; ie UPN and NPP centered their campaign around welfarism and social justice/social change respectively.

In the third republic, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), which was the dominant party centred their messaging on welfarism and social justice. The other party, National Republican Convention (NRC) was conservatism leaning.

At the return of the fourth republic,democracy in 1999, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) - which still dominates the political space, as well as the All Nigeria Peoples Party (now defunct) pursued Social conservatism and Economic liberalism. The Alliance for Democracy (later Action Congress of Nigeria) adopted a combination of progressivism and welfarism.

While all parties between the period of 1979 and 2007 tailored their messaging in accordance with their respective agenda and Ideology, the Congress for Progrssive Change (CPC), which was formed in 2010 with the sole purpose of actualising the presidential ambition of General Muhammadu Buhari at the 2011 election, brought a new but sad dimension to the political arena. The CPC ran a vicious campaign that was never seen in the country - though their concentration was primarily in the northern part of the country. The consequence of that was a post-election violence that was never seen in Nigeria which cost the lives of members of National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) and other young Nigerians in Bauchi, Kano, Kaduna and other States - sadly no single perpetrator nor any of their soonsor was convicted.

In 2013, the ACN, CPC and ANPP entered into merger to birth the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the sole purpose of wrestling power from the then ruling PDP. During the 2015 electioneering the party deployed propaganda, hate speech, violent messaging and bigotry against then ruling PDP and her supporters. For the first time in Nigeria, the APC and her chieftains threatened to form a parallel government if the electoral outcome did not favor them - may I also add that the same chieftains of APC in 2014 charged residents in Osun State to mete jungle justice on anyone that sought to hijack their mandate in Osun gubernatorial election.

As a consequence of their vile speeches, the electoral atmosphere became extremely tensed with many fearing that a second Civil War may erupt. Though APC won the 2015 poll, the party successfully made hate speech, threat of violence, propaganda and several other vices as an electioneering norm to unseat an incumbent to attain power; only God knows what would have happen if the result was not in the APC's favor.

To make things worse, the party successfully reversed every democratic gains that Nigeria attained between 1999 and 2015 under successive PDP administrations - inflation rate is at all time high, insecurity is talk of the town, prices of commodities are skyrocketing on daily basis, pump prices of petrol and kerosene are not only exorbitant but relatively scarce, schools are shut down due to striking teaching and nonteaching staff, the polity is tensed - Nigerians are angry.

Therefore, it is incumbent on the electorates to be resolute and deliberate to #RecoverNigeria from the grip of the ruling APC in February 2023 poll: based on his manefesto and antecedents, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP Presidential Candidate, is undisputably the best alternative for the to lead Nigeria from the pollution of the ruling APC.

God bless Nigeria

The APC came into power on a foundation built on lies, deceit and hatred for the unity of Nigeria

Instead of the ignoramuses to go help their Choirmaster Candidate do copy and paste manifesto and stop embarrassing themselves, they are spewing false information just to shy away from the manifesto question. You guys lied!!! Choirmaster must present his manifesto to show that he's contesting for Nigeria's Presidency and not his Church Choirmaster role

1. Atiku Abubakar's visit to United States has exposed some ignoramuses that are using Tambuwal’s presence in the trip to spin narrative.

Sadly, they don't know that only heads of Sovereign countries enjoy cross-border immunity.

2. These ignoramuses don't know that Tambuwal's only enjoys immunity within Nigeria & holding a diplomatic passport doesn't exempt one from cross-border arrest. Even in the United States sitting Governors are arrested & prosecuted not to talk of Governors from a third world country.

3. The ignoramuses don't even know that as a former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku is entitled to Diplomatic passport for life - which he uses for transnational trips. They don't know that the passport doesn't grant him immunity anywhere in the world if he breaks the law.

4. These ignoramuses don't know that if Atiku was a US fugitive, UAE government would have extradited him long ago just like they did Hushpuppy (USA) and James Ibori (UK).

Ignoramuses don't know that USA has never for once sought extradition order on Atiku like they did Abba Kyari

5. These ignoramuses willingly refused to come to reality that Atiku Abubakar has no criminal indictment in the USA, Nigeria or any other country - hence, he freely moves around.

Thankfully, Majority Nigerians know these facts and are fully with Atiku Abubakar for #PDPRecoveryPlan

One of the information that is causing Ignoramuses sleepless nights since Atiku Abubakar left for the USA is the US Chamber of Commerce invitation.
Bad belle people

BUNOR84:
This is an eye-opener to the daft Ignoramus that have refused to learn or deliberately closed their minds to reality. Anyway, they will learn by force

No matter how hard the ignoramuses tries to defame Atiku, their Choirmaster candidate has and will always call him his Boss, the Unifier and the best Man for the job of the President of Nigeria

If the OBJ can endorse Atiku Abubakar because of the goodness he sees in the #PDPRecoveryPlan, then why would I to say otherwise?

optimistcandyboy:
And you believed them?

If the Jagaban can endorse Atiku Abubakar because of the goodness he sees in the #PDPRecoveryPlan, then why would I to say otherwise?

optimistcandyboy:
And you believed them?

If Obi can endorse Atiku Abubakar because of the goodness he sees in the #PDPRecoveryPlan, then why would I to say otherwise?

optimistcandyboy:
And you believed them?

Obi, Obj, Jagaban and most members of the opposition parties have always said that Atiku Abubakar is one of the finest Politician of our time and the best among those currently contesting for the position of the President

They have all secretly aligned with the #PDPRecoveryPlan but because of their selfish interests and egos, they are fighting so hard to eat their words, unfortunately for them, Nigerians already made their choice by working for Atiku's victory come Feb 2023

Obi said Atiku is a good leader and fit for President, Obasanjo said so too, even Tinubu said the same. They were not wrong then, they are not wrong now.

Has Obi or any other Candidate made any statement on Deborah's death?

Anatakuebira:
He should express his disappointment with the killers of Deborah first before coming here to say rubbish.

That doesn't mean I am not also disappointed in the way the police handled the harmless protesters.

Atiku Abubakar is really the only Candidate who has issued a statement condemning the Lekki Massacre and he still holds same views till date

You should know those who meant well for the Nigerian Youths when you hear them talk.
Till this very moment Atiku Abubakar is still the only Candidate who has issued a statement condemning the Lekki Massacre and he still holds same views till date, hence the #PDPRecoveryPlan to reform the Police

Atiku Abubakar will definitely put an end to Police Brutality, that is why Police reform is enshrined in the #PDPRecoveryPlan

Atiku Abubakar still feels and share in the pains of the family and friends that lost their loved ones during the Lekki Massacre and he has proposed a solution to end Police Brutality in the #PDPRecoveryPlan to be implemented when elected the President come 2023

As a Father who will always want to see his Children protected & unharmed, @atiku spoke with pains & displeasure about the Lekki Massacre of our innocent Young Men & Women then, whose only crime was a call for the Authorities to #ENDSARS (Police Brutality) and pic.twitter.com/RmxbLaVXjw
